Japan Snow – BTS EP1 – Tokyo City Scene – Tokyo Video

In 2015 my best friends and I set out to the land of powder and ramen to film an adventure travel piece for GoPro’s official YouTube channel called Japan Snow: A Search for Perfection, with world renowned athletes John Jackson and Chris Benchetler. Here’s a behind the scenes look at how we filmed that video.

This is Episode 1 of 6, with a new one dropping each week. In this episode we look at how we filmed the fast-paced city montage scene in the bustling metropolis of Tokyo. The series was edited by Joseph Renteria, and produced by Chris Farro.

This video was filmed 100% on GoPro HERO4. Check out the HERO7 it’s even better.

Dude the simple drone zoom post effect is awesome!! The twins are confusing, the same person is two places at once. The original footage blended to the VFX and Grade is nice to see. Looks like a good BTS overall. Is that drone not the Karma…? Guessing the P2 with a go pro attached. Stoked for the next episode.

Wow! I'm surprised you got away with using a drone next to a train and above a road like that. They are super illegal here (in Japan) almost everywhere, and especially near trains, buildings, power lines, etc. Apparently the Tokyo police even have a special task force to take them down.

The fast cut edit of the city was one of the best sequences I remember from the video. So cool to see you guys behind the scene thinking through and making decisions on the fly. Excited to see how many BTS episodes we have in store. 🙂

Watched 4 seconds of the intro and instantly subscribed. This is what youtube was made for. Awesome video and amazing editing! Great job man! *After watching, I got to say this is by far some of the best editing skills I've ever seen on youtube.
